Most Gridfinity caliper holders I’ve seen either keep the calipers horizontal or with the Jaws stored Down. Admittedly, those designs will protect the caliper slightly better, however keeping the caliper upright (jaws up) makes it easier to find and grab. On certain digital calipers, the screen does not automatically turn off, so this also allows you to check the power status as well. I designed this one to work with igaging calipers, but they should work with similar calipers.
The base is surprisingly stable on its own, but I would still recommend a weighted baseplate using magnets or screws.
I have some strong 1/8” cube Neodymium magnets I prefer over the standard 6mm x 2mm round magnets. The file I printed uses these however I also created a part to work with the standard Gridfinity magnets and screws as well.
Print Settings:
Gridfinity Caliper Holder V1.stl – Support recommended for magnet holes.
Gridfinity Caliper Holder V1 Cube Magnets.stl – no support needed.
No other special print settings are needed. I used PETG 2 Parameters, at 20% infill .2mm layer height with good results (3 1/2Hrs on my printer).
